ArgumentOutOfRangeException if autocomplete wraps in VSCode

[ericwj]

Steps to reproduce

In Visual Studio Code, do dir near the right end of the terminal window and type C:\win, hitting tab to autocomplete into any directory until the exception occurs. The same happens with other commands when it wraps pressing Tab to autocomplete the parameter name or the value.

In Windows Terminal, this works - no exception occurs. Although the output may be garbled while editing the command, depending on how big the window is.

"  <as many spaces as necessary to get near the right margin> "; dir "C:\Windows\assembly\NativeImages_v4.0.30319_32\Sys"

Hit Tab.

Expected behavior

The path wraps and the autocomplete leaves the cursor at the end of the autocompleted name.

Actual behavior

An error occurred while reading input:

System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException: The value must be greater than or equal to zero and less than the console's buffer size in that dimension. (Parameter 'top')Actual value was 20.
   at System.ConsolePal.SetCursorPosition(Int32 left, Int32 top)
   at Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.Console.ConsoleReadLine.InsertInput(StringBuilder inputLine, Int32 promptStartCol, Int32 promptStartRow, String insertedInput, Int32 cursorIndex, Int32 insertIndex, Int32 replaceLength, Int32 finalCursorIndex)
   at Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.Console.ConsoleReadLine.ReadLine(Boolean isCommandLine, CancellationToken cancellationToken)
   at Microsoft.PowerShell.EditorServices.EditorServicesPSHostUserInterface.StartReplLoop(CancellationToken cancellationToken)

The cursor will be after a new prompt and the command that was being constructed is lost completely.

Duplicated with PS 5.1 in VSCode by just entering characters (no tab). Around the 160th character the error will be returned.
